BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman's joy at the recovery of her missing handbag quickly turned to sorrow after she sped drunk to the police station to fetch it and had her driver's license confiscated, authorities said Thursday.
"She was so happy to hear about the bag she jumped straight into the car and came down to get it," said a spokesman for police in the western town of Mettmann. "The thing is, we saw her coming. She'd had a lot to drink."
The 38-year-old parked in front of the police station but failed to hide the fact she was inebriated from officers.
